As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

On behalf of all self-published authors, I authorize you to reach out & tell us if you really enjoyed something we wrote.

We’re all dog-paddling in a sea of self-doubt & impostor syndrome & those little messages mean a lot.

Unless stated otherwise, our DMs/inboxes are always open for kind words 💞

For me, this is the essential heart of it and why it can encompass a big range. It's about not just exploring strange, bloody subjects, but about having access to full humanity like any cishet reader. lesbianwithteeth.wordpress.com/about/

🌿Share your oc and a plant you associate with them 🌾

Okay so there’s lots of flowers I associate with Jude, but hellebore might be my favorite for her. It’s stubborn, sturdy, and the first flower to bloom in spring.

It’s also the flower that grows through her ribcage when she [redacted].

🥀Share your OC and a plant you associate with them🥀

I love flowers, always have, and the ones I most associate with these two are black dahlias. Jinn and Kili are a dragon who hoards the memories of their mortal loved ones through immortal life, so I feel like mourning and grief fits them.

LEGALLY YOU SHOULD BE SENDING INVOICES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. IF YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS ON PAYPAL DO NOT USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU ARE NOT SAFE, YOUR CLIENT IS NOT SAFE.

THIS IS A FORM OF TAX EVASION.

YOU SHOULD BE USING INVOICES.
Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.
Sharing a helpful link, has other numbers and call scripts to use.

I can’t state this enough—just start, start anywhere. Even if it’s bad, just start.
I think about this advice a lot: start your project now, today, even if it'll take you 10 years to do, because the time is going to pass anyway. Time is going to march on! Might as well have something in progress!

I have discovered a new obsession and yet I have NO ONE TO PLAY IT WITH T-T
Do you like lesbians and mechs? Messy power dynamics and half-alive robots you have to swap blood with? I just released GIRL FRAME, a TTRPG inspired by Mechsploitation, Armored Core, and Evangelion. Go check it out!

it's a 'fake it till you make it' thing, to an extent. if you call yourself a writer, if you hold yourself to that standard, if you write - then it'll start to fit like a glove. whereas if you use some kind of diminuitive, self-effacing term, it'll start to hold you back and mess with your head

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
